There were many comrades gathered around Shen Rusong's hospital bed, and there was a lot to talk about, but after all, staying in the hospital bed was boring.
There are only seven people left in Class 2. When the group photo was taken in February, there were only twelve people left. Who could have expected that it would only be September, and there would be three consecutive fierce battles, four sacrifices, and one serious injury and retirement?
Shen Rusong was lying on the ground, seriously injured. The others had scratches and bruises all over their bodies. They were concussed by the explosion and had their arms grazed by stray bullets. Many people suffered such injuries. Too lazy to report.
Fortunately, the capacity of the Yanqi Army Hospital was large, and with the departure of large troops, most of the wounded on the front lines were transferred to Longshan and Qamdo. When the fighting was not intense, the hospital was deserted and the management was not strict. So everyone simply stopped staying in the barracks and stayed together in Shen Rusong's area. Usually we just get together to play cards and brag.
"Hey, Mouse, are you out of luck?" Xie Guorong was holding a cigarette in his mouth and counting the cards in a very depressed manner. No matter how he finished the cards first, how could it be that Li Hao from the previous family was the first to win at the end? step.
Li Hao rolled his eyes, calmly put his right hand on his knee, and said disdainfully: "You are just a thousand-year-old, but so many people are watching, hey, squad leader, am I a thousand-year-old?"
Shen Rusong put a big pillow behind his back. His injury healed quickly and he could half lie down. He was writing a battle report and was too lazy to watch these idiots playing cards.
He originally thought that he could enjoy the rare tranquility, but these stupid people insisted on coming to accompany him, which made the place very smoky. At first, he refrained from smoking for two days, but now each one is more aggressive than the other. In Xie Guorong’s words: "Monitor You’re injured and can’t smoke, so we’ll let you smell it.”
Go and smell it.
"It's a shame, I saw it." Shen Rusong said angrily. He faced Li Hao's position. This kid also had a deck of cards in his pocket. Using the cover of the hospital bed, he replaced the single card in hand more than once. Shuang, he'll be in trouble if he doesn't win.
Shen Rusong gave Li Hao a look that he didn't dare to take seriously. He coughed and said, "Take the things out of your pockets."
Xie Guorong and Yang Qi, who had lost the card, looked at each other, jumped up and subdued Li Hao three times, found a stack of cards, and shouted to chop off their little fingers, but Li Hao smashed them and stretched out his hand. The left hand with three fingers left acted like a fool, saying chop it, chop it, chop it, then pack up and run away to the state farm to find a girl with braided pigtails to stay and fly together.
The characteristic of Li Hao is that he has no shame. Especially after losing the middle finger and ring finger of his left hand in the battle, he completely let himself go. He raised his orchid finger as if he had obtained an all-purpose amulet. When everyone wanted to beat him, he would call him bullying the disabled. When it was time for dinner, they started grabbing meat and land at a fast pace, leaving everyone speechless.
When the fight stopped, Li Hao started to pester Xu Shengnan, one by one, but he was swaying comfortably on the couch at the door. He lowered his eyelids and waved his hand to tell me to get out of here. I am a medical soldier. Yes, but it cannot cure the mentally retarded.
As for Deng Feng? Why don't you give me extra face and go and give it a try? Just because you kicked me in the face will make you lose your temper. Don’t think that the class deputy won’t beat you up even if you smoke a cigarette. Just because the class leader doesn’t like to take action doesn’t mean that the class deputy won’t kick your ass. If you piss off Deng Feng, see if he will. He will chase you around ten or eight times, and then take off your hood, so that you can see what a running man from the Northeast is.
After going back and forth, Li Hao could only bother Liu Zixu. Although Liu Zixu was a little greedy, he was generally a good person, but it was a pity that he was not firm, and he was suddenly dragged over to play cards.
Four people played "Uno", a derivative game of playing cards, with a total of 108 cards, divided into three types: digital, functional and universal cards. After all, you will get tired of playing traditional playing cards, right?
The four of them were fighting passionately, but Shen Rusong ignored them and continued to write the battle report.
Shen Rusong recalled the battle outside the Huijiang radar station, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became.
This battle was obviously an example of a coordinated attack between bandits and beasts. The bandit army instigated a tide of beasts by some means and attacked several military stations, hydrological stations, and even radar stations along the Huijiang River. The mobile troops from Beiqin were attracted by the tide of beasts. When the tide of beasts stuck to the troops, the bandits quietly moved around, attacked the rear, and wiped out the artillery in one fell swoop.
Shen Rusong thought in his mind that if the three squads did not arrive in time, resolutely hold their position and then launch a strong counterattack, the bandit army would be swept away, forming the most deadly front and rear pincer attack. The bandit army also enjoyed the advantages of night and weather.
The simplest analogy is. The troops have fifty trucks and fifty drones. The enemy has nothing. In peacetime, the troops must have the advantage. In the harsh environment of heavy rain and mud, trucks and drones cannot operate, so who suffers the greater loss?
Is it the troops who are accustomed to superior firepower and fight in the field during the day who suffer the most losses, or the bandit troops who can only see with the naked eye and only dare to attack at night?
Putting it all together, the bandit army will definitely send reinforcements to support the site if they know the Beiqin base. The most valuable sites along the Hui River are naturally the radar stations. The beast tide is a magnet that firmly attracts the mobile troops. With such a Natural allies are here, and the bandit army doesn't even need to place mines, booby traps, or traps. Just hide, deal a serious blow to the Renaissance Army and then withdraw.
The bandits are not fools. Countless battles have shown that a fully-organized company-level unit of the Renaissance Army can always organize a strong counterattack when it is attacked, as long as it is not covered by heavy firepower.
After the war, the corpses of the bandits were counted, and only about thirty were found. This means that the bandits killed half a company of Renaissance soldiers at such a slight cost. This is only the number of direct casualties, and there are many serious injuries. , all members suffered minor injuries.
What is the exchange ratio for the Fuxing Army to suppress the bandits? At least it’s 1 to 5! Having been ambushed outside an unknown village, Shen Rusong's men suffered less than five casualties in the end, but they basically wiped out more than a hundred bandits.
In the battle of Huijiang, the Renaissance Army suffered more casualties? Even if the factor of beast tide is added, this is unacceptable!
This was just a battle on the Huijiang River. The bandits successfully attacked the Beiqin base and succeeded again! Regardless of whether it was through means, whether by driving a wolf in human skin, or by direct attack, within a few hours, all the surface positions of the Beiqin base fell, and almost all the defenders were killed. The bandits openly destroyed the ammunition depot and storage depot. This was a supply chain. Linqian's warehousing! The two infantry regiments on the front line are counting on supplies from Beiqin! Four thousand people! Supplies for four thousand men!
Shen Rusong could fully imagine the furious reaction of the high command when they found out about the terrible battle in Beiqin. The most darkly humorous thing was that the pilots sent for aerial reconnaissance thought that the enemy had withdrawn from the smoke-shrouded Beiqin base. He boldly went to low-altitude reconnaissance, but three were shot down and three were killed.
Xu Bowen came over to visit Shen Rusong in the afternoon. When he talked about this matter, he sighed and said that the situation was not as stated in the bulletin and all three pilots died in the battle. He was just outside Beiqin at that time, and only found one, while the other two were captured and taken away.
At this point, Xu Bowen's eyes were particularly complicated, and he said to Shen Rusong: "You should take good care of your injuries. I guess it won't be long before the higher-ups will mobilize troops to comb Tong'an Ridge."
Xu Bowen told how he captured several bandit prisoners who attacked the Beiqin base, one of whom was found in prison. He was shot in the chest and almost died.
"The shooter was actually a small tribesman. He used the bone pistol you picked. There was one of our people in front of her. It's really strange. If I hadn't seen the gun in the little girl's hand with my own eyes, I would have believed it. If you kill that kid, there’s no such thing as a lie that he killed the bandits.”
"Hey, I would like to ask, how did your trophy end up in that corner? You have to tell me about it." Xu Bowen demanded.
Shen Rusong smiled bitterly and explained the whole story of asking Bai Xiaoshu to chat. What he didn't expect was that the thing he casually gave to the prison guard, the boy named Li Weiguo, would accidentally reach the prisoner. Bai Xiaoshu finally shot and killed the bandits who came to save her.
"It's a confusing account, it's okay, just don't worry." Xu Bowen comforted him.
"That group of tribal captives, as well as the one you were looking for to chat with, were all transferred to Yanqi because Beiqin was completely useless and could no longer be used."
Shen Rusong was slightly surprised. He knew that Xu Bowen didn't care at all about the platoon leader's attitude towards such savages and thugs. Why would he worry so much about bringing Yanqi back?
Xu Bowen replied: "Since we didn't deal with it at the beginning, why bother now? It won't be long before we cross the Hui River. These tribesmen are willing to cooperate. It's okay to ask about the geography and hydrology. Besides, we can give them some leftovers to feed." How much does it cost to feed? If it’s worthless, just throw it away to the munitions farm.”
Shen Rusong was speechless for a moment.
Xu Bowen peeled a fruit candy to him and couldn't help but speak in a heavy tone: "Originally, we were a company. After the battle in Qianshan, we became a reinforced platoon. This time, after another battle, the company completely turned into a platoon. It’s hard to say whether we should recruit new soldiers to restore the establishment in the future, or simply insert them into other units. Anyway, don’t think too much, just rest and recuperate, and come to me if you need anything.”
Shen Rusong raised his head and glanced at his comrades playing cards outside. Xu Shengnan, who had woken up, joined the card game. Everyone was having fun playing.
Shen Rusong replied "yes", handed the battle report to Xu Bowen, and asked him if he had written a death notice? Xu Bowen said that he had not finished writing. There would be a postal flight in a few days, so he planned to write at night.
"I'm writing it, and I'll ask the platoon leader to pick it up later. As their squad leader, I have the responsibility for their sacrifice."
Xu Bowen pursed his lips, patted Shen Rushong on the shoulder, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After it was quiet at night, Shen Rusong wrote a not very long letter to Liu Youcheng's family. He really didn't know how to write it. Just four months ago, Liu Youcheng's family received a death notice. The eldest son was gone, and the four A month later, another cold letter came, telling her that the youngest son was gone. He didn't dare to think about the relationship between Liu's father and Liu's mother.
Shen Rusong looked out the window. The night sky was dark and the stars were dim.
